Consequence

I found myself liking this movie much more than I thought I would. It seems to be a basic B-movie thriller with a couple of aging, no-longer-in-demand stars. As it turns out it is highly entertaining, despite a few plot holes, and a smidgen of predictability. You'd think he would mail it in on something like this, but Armand Assante really gets a chance to show his chops in this one. Rick Schroder comes across as sufficiently menacing. Nadia Kretschmer was good enough in a semi-small part. I was just about blown away Lola Glaudini. I had never heard of her before, but she is awesomely beautiful, and totally nailed her role, a character that was not particularly likable. The director, one Anthony Hickox, nearly ruined the film with show-off directorial effects. I am sure he will sink further into well-deserved obscurity. If you can get past the directing, though, I think you might enjoy this movie.
